Pack
your bags! We're ready to go!
With
a little preparation ahead of time, you can gather
everything you need to scrap your vacation photos
and still Enjoy Your Vacation! Let the whole
family have fun with it. My husband even
had fun collecting things.

| BEFORE
YOU GO |
|
Supplies
needed:
-
Three-ring Binder
- Spiral
Notebook
-
Pocket Pages
You
can use a binder from around your house,
or purchase one for a couple of dollars
from your local office supply store.
While shopping, pick-up a package of pocket
pages. I found manila double-pocket
dividers and plastic binder Pockets.
I went with the latter because the pockets
are cut on a slant which holds things in
place a little better, and they are see
through.

Each
place you visit will need its own pocket.
Label your pockets with small label stickers
giving dates of arrival and location.
While making your travel plans, put copies
of reservations, tourist information and
maps in their appropriate pocket.
Place the spiral notebook in the front pocket
of the notebook to record each days events.
It is best to take a couple of minutes each
evening, when things get quiet, to jot down
the days happenings and special moments.

| WHILE
TRAVELING |

Now
is where the fun begins! Use your travel
pockets to store items you collect along the way.
When you return home and have your wonderful photographs
developed, everything is in order and ready to
scrap.

to gather along the way:
-
Brochures - One to cut for a title or journal
square and one to keep in a pocket in your album.

don't pick-up treasures that would leave an

just the way you found it for your children
and grandchildren. |
